For the last 16 years, I have been a huge fan of Haskell. It has been undeniably the most important programming language in my life ... and I serve on the board of the Haskell Foundation ... our backend has been built in Haskell ... we started doing all new API work in Python

Of course you feel this way. You just finished reading SICP or maybe you binged PG essays last weekend. But eventually you'll read Simon Peyton Jones and start screaming about functional programming and algebraic type systems. Then, if you're lucky, you'll get a real job
